Trip to Peru from June 12 - 20


Lisa, Deb, and Sarah
Sarah Daszczuk, Lisa Bixby and Deb Passino, will be traveling to Peru on behalf of St. Paul Parish. They'll be leaving from Chicago on Wednesday, May 12, arriving in  Paita, Peru on Thursday, May 13. They'll be returning from Peru on May 20.

Each day, the travelers will be updating this blog with pictures and stories. Please take the time to  read the blog while they're in Peru. They look forward to hearing from you via the blog as well. Please keep them in your prayers.

They will be spending lots of time with the children from St. Clare Catholic School. The school was started by the School Sisters of St. Francis in 1980. The sisters started with a pre-school. The parents wanted more. So year by year, grades were added, all the way through high school.

The parents know how important education is to their children. The importance of knowledge, the chance to learn, is everything to them. This is there way out of poverty.

There are four Peruvian Sisters teaching at St. Clare School. The school principal is Sister Monica. More information about the students and sisters will be shared with you as we obtain the information.

    Thanks Janine for taking the time to read our blog. We leave in two weeks and we are really excited. American Airlines has Wi-Fi and we'll be creating a blog post right in the airplane the day we leave. Our first flight doesn't take off from Chicago until 5:45pm on the 12th. So check us out after 10pm for a few pictures.

      Thanks Amy for viewing this blog. Please pass it along to other people you know. We hope we can get a youth team from St. Paul Parish to Peru in a year or two. Wouldn't that be awesome?

      Keep on checking our blog. We plan on posting it every day.

      Deb
